AEM/ Adobe CQ: Version controlling

CQ uses svn by default.

Filevault ( VLT)is used when we need crx file system to be available in local system(like accessing code using eclipse).

Create back up of crx code using file vault

To set up the filevault, we need to unzip the filevault file and configure its bin path to system path variable.

Export project from CQ to local machine

c:\CQ5_training\backup>vlt --credentials admin:admin export -v http://localhost:4505/crx /apps/training .

Above command creates a jcr_root folder in backup folder and put all files from crx

Import Project from Local file system to CQ

c:\CQ5_training\backup>vlt --credentials admin:admin import -v http://localhost:4505/crx . /apps/training

Once user credential is entered, it is not required again bcz, the user credential is saved in user directory> vault folder as an xml file.

Checkout just directory structure, not entire project

backup>vlt -co http://localhost:4505/crx/-/jcr:root/apps/training .

Identify locally modified files, execute below command.

jcr_root>vlt -st

Identify difference in local and crx files, execute below command.

jcr_root>vlt -diff complex/components/test.jsp

jcr_root>vlt diff will give all changed fields comparison in jcr_rot checked out directory

commit changes to code repository:

All files:

jcr_root>vlt - ci

Single file commit:

jcr_root>vlt - ci filename

Note: ci,st,diffcommaond only works withchecked out code , not exported code.
